There are more and more Spanish China people.

According to the Spanish newspaper Ou Hua, with the development of Chinese in Spain in recent years, the growth of the second generation of Chinese and the arrival of Xinhua people, the local society has paid more and more attention to this group. Recently, in social surveys and news reports related to Spanish immigrants, China people living in the West have become one of the main research and discussion objects. Not only that, but now the Spanish society's understanding and investigation of Chinese groups are becoming more and more detailed, involving all aspects of the daily life of overseas Chinese, from population migration to development mode; From the emergence of Hua Er generation to China people living and working in Spain, and so on. From this, we can not only see that the influence of more than 200 thousand Chinese in Spain is increasing day by day, but also their degree of integration is not the same as before. There are more and more China people everywhere.

Since the economic crisis in 2008, the number of immigrants in Spain has been decreasing. While a large number of immigrants have to return to China because of the economic depression, the number of Chinese is growing against the trend and constantly improving. According to relevant statistics, not only in China cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, but also in other remote small and medium-sized towns, the number of China people is also increasing obviously.

According to the data released by the Immigration Observation Institute not long ago, the number of local immigrants in Madrid has decreased since 20 10, and the trend has been decreasing. By 20 13, the migration trend has reached its peak. Nearly 70,000 immigrants left Madrid that year. However, in the wave of emigration from Spain, the number of China people unexpectedly went in the opposite direction, increasing year after year. Last year alone, it increased by more than 3000 people. At present, Chinese have become the third largest immigrant group in Madrid, even surpassing the largest immigrant group in Spain such as Ecuador, Colombia and Peru.

To the surprise of investigators, the number of overseas Chinese is increasing not only in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, but also in other small and medium-sized cities with few Chinese. A rising tide lifts all boats? . For example, in huelva, a small town in the Andalusian region of southern Spain, according to the statistics of the economic and social departments of the local municipal government, the number of local Chinese has increased by 350% in the past decade, reaching 850. This growth rate is one of the best in Spain. At the same time, the number of people in China has exceeded the immigrants accepted by the local people in the past? Big family? Colombians and Ecuadoreans. Similarly, in Castren, another southern town, the number of local China people has more than tripled in the past decade, reaching nearly 1500. What makes the local Spaniards lament is that the sharp increase of Chinese has just appeared in the economic crisis in recent years. Through relatives, they came to a place full of opportunities and started their own business.

As for the increasing number of Chinese in recent years, some experts who study immigration say that the main reason is that the economic crisis has little impact on the Chinese community, and their business has not only been maintained, but also improved in the depressed market? Crisis? For what? Opportunity? And made further development. In this situation, many immigrant families from China have been coming to Spain through family reunion, and began to expand further after their foothold. In addition, in recent years, due to Spain? Gold house? The implementation of the policy, as well as the arrival of a large number of China students, has also promoted the continuous increase of overseas Chinese population.

In the past, overseas Chinese were mostly concentrated in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and other cities. However, with the development of China people in recent years, their related industries have reached saturation in these big cities. As a result, many Chinese began to move to other small and medium-sized cities in Spain for development. For example, the Chinese restaurant industry and the hair salon industry have now expanded to many fields. For example, in the northern city of La Coruna, after the first Chinese hair salon appeared three years ago, it has now grown to three. In the southern city of Malaga, China's hair salon industry is growing from scratch, which has brought pressure to local practitioners.

China people's life goal: save money to start a business.

A few days ago, IE Business School in Spain cooperated with MoneyGram to conduct a research on? Immigration Entrepreneurship and the Development of International Remittance Industry? Investigation. In the relevant investigation report, it not only analyzes the development of Spanish remittance industry with immigrants as the main body, but also lists chapters to explain the employment situation of overseas Chinese and the current situation of international remittance.

A survey shows that the international remittance industry in Spain is now basically monopolized by immigrants, and many immigrant bosses are engaged in other businesses as well as remittance? Main business? . For example, immigrants from Latin America often attach remittance services to their telephone booths. Similarly, immigrants from Nigeria and Pakistan will also provide remittance services in hair salons and vegetable shops where they are good at. Among the immigrant entrepreneurs in this industry, the largest number are Pakistanis, followed by Moroccans and Colombians. To the surprise of the investigators, almost none of the Spanish immigrant entrepreneurs from China got their hands on the international remittance industry.

Not only are there few employees in China, but not many people in China send money to China by this way. Regarding this phenomenon, Julio, the doctoral supervisor in charge of the investigation, said that China people have developed very well in Spain. After they come to Spain, their main task is to start a business within two or three years. So people in China seldom send money to China. They save the money they earn in Spain and then invest it so that they can seek greater development. In this way, their families can also come to Spain in the future to join the business operation. From this, the life goals of Chinese in Spain can basically be summarized as? Save money? With what? Start a business? .

Although the survey of Spanish remittance industry shows that Chinese rarely send money back to China, the investigators also point out that according to the latest information released by the World Bank, China people have unexpectedly become the third largest immigrant group in Spain to send money abroad. In 20 14 years, they remitted106.5 billion euros, second only to the French and Moroccans. Therefore, the investigators of IE Business School in Spain believe that overseas Chinese should have other remittance methods without going through the remittance industry.

In fact, there have been many studies on Chinese entrepreneurship and development model in Spain recently, and the conclusion is basically that Chinese people are related by blood relationship and? Face? Borrow money for financing, and then realize your life goals through investing heavily and working hard. Nevertheless, in various surveys on immigration, the development model of China people has always been tirelessly mentioned.

Hua Er generation has become a new focus.

In recent years, with the continuous growth of Hua Er generation, it has become a new focus of Spanish society. This is particularly prominent in the Spanish media. A few days ago, El Pais, the mainstream Spanish media, twice introduced the growth and living conditions of the Hua Er generation to the public through pictures and interviews.

Through interviews with different people, the Spanish media found that although Dai grew up in face of china and lived in a Chinese family, they were influenced by Spanish education and culture, so their ideas and ways of dealing with people were very Spanish. They themselves feel that they are neither Spanish nor China. The reason for this situation is also the acceptance of Spanish society. Although many people in Hua Er's generation prefer to be Spanish, their companions around them and the Spaniards they meet in life don't think so. Therefore, even if they can speak pure Spanish, all their behaviors have been westernized, and the society they contact is still reminding them that you are a foreigner. ? For many generations in Hua Er, the embodiment of Chinese and Western cultures seems inexplicable. As a result, they don't have enough sense of identity with Chinese and western cultures.

In fact, with the passage of time and the development of the Chinese community, the growth of the Spanish Hua Er generation is also changing. Those Hua Er generations who came to the West in their early years and have now grown up are not as smooth and fruitful in education and integration as newly-grown children. The main reason is that the education level of the first generation of China people is generally low, which leads them to pay little attention to their children's learning. In addition, in order to survive and develop, the first generation often put all their energy and time into making a living and doing business, so they neglected the growth and education of children. In many families in China, children are called to the store to help when they are a little older. Therefore, the phenomenon of China children dropping out of Spanish schools was once very serious. This has also caused a great integration problem.

However, this situation has changed a lot now. According to a recent social survey of immigrant children conducted by lacaixa Bank Foundation, what are the children in China doing now? Education penetration rate? 、? Junior high school enrollment rate? And then what? University enrollment rate? These three indicators are in the forefront of almost all immigrant groups in Spain. According to reports, this survey lasted for many years. Experts first selected 5000 immigrant children from all over the world aged from 13 to 15, and made a statistics on their education. Then, when they grew up to 17 to 19, they made a statistics on their education, so that we could see the evolution results of their education.

Regarding the evolution of children's education in China, the Spanish expert in charge of the investigation said that with the development of overseas Chinese and the later growth of children in China, China people have paid more and more attention to children's education, and at the same time, the Hua Er generation has indeed achieved good results.
